I started out like many of my peers reading The Bobbsey Twins but unlike them I skipped past the requisite Nancy Drew stage and jumped straight into the arms of John D. McDonald’s Travis McGee.  And, unlike most of Travis's girls, I not only survived his adventures but I also came away with a life-long love of mystery.

I have written three novels of mystery , all unsold to date, but I keep working on my craft and hope that the next one will be the one.
